- Keep your eyes open for the next comparison: Mackie Thump Go vs JBL Partybox 110 Both in the $400 price range. Make sure to see Part 2 A sound demo of SQ: • Part 2 NEW MACKIE THUM... Between the Bose S1Pro & JBL Compact: The S1Pro has a cleaner high end and a smoother Hifi sounding midrange. Both have the same max volume. Bose smaller form factor/lighter weight. Bose has a better dispersion of 120 degrees, JBL throws 100 degrees. Both speakers should be off the ground on a speaker stand. JBL has a darker sound with more emphasis on bass with the larger 8 inch woofer. JBL has the better App with a an 8 band EQ that can help you tailor your sound for different instruments/rooms.
This vid is 2 years old at this point and STILL very relevant. GREAT VIDEO and helped me make my choice.
2 years? Time flies when you're having fun:) Glad I could help with your decision.
You said what I thought listening to it. I have a Mackie Thump Go that should be here tomorrow and I think when it comes and I play with it I am sure it's going to need 1 more. LOL
Thank you! I always look forward to your videos! I can't wait to see how the Eon One M2K comes out. I should have my 2 PRX1S here tomorrow too!
I have a JBL PB110 coming tomorrow! I will put it up against the Mackie. Pair up the Mackie with your Bose Sub1. Will make an excellent micro rig! Wow 2 PRXs! Is that your step up from the Bose S1Pro/Sub2 pairs?
@@WWeiss-nv5vz you will love the partybox 110. They sound good and are fun speakers! I can't wait to see the comparison. I think I'm going to do that with a partybox 100. The Bose S1pros and the Bose subs are my smaller setup. I absolutely love the sound that comes from that. The PRX1S are going to be the setup when I need a little more headway. Like the tailgate party I did. I pushed the S1pros almost all the way so next time I will use the PRX1S so I don't have to run them as hard. I think I am going to get a couple more subs to go with the mackies . So I will have 3 defferant rigs for defferant things and sometimes I will use 2 defferant ones for weddings. Plus with high school events I will probably add a sub or two to the PRX1S. The kids love the bass 🔊. LOL
Great explanation of every single speaker.
Appreciate your feedback!
It’s ideal to have 15 inch tops and 18 inch subs. But not everyone has the space for that and sometimes setup time is a huge factor. Some of us musicians carry and setup our own gear and there are times where we have less than 5 minutes to setup and we have just a couple minutes to teardown and go to the next gig. Small battery powered speakers are a game changer for some of us.
thanks for this great video. 👍
Glad you liked it!
I have a Roland sdp 20 drum pad ,which speaker will be recommended for home usage with a good base? As per the video i can see Mackie giving a good performance! What's your stand?
2 speakers should theoretically yield a 6 db increase and the difference between the speakers is 3 db or less. 2 Bose or JBL speakers will be noticeably louder than 1 Mackie. Good demo and share!
Thanks, wasn't sure if it was 6dB or 3dB.
Great video!!!!!!!
Thank you!
I don't see any way to do a Firmware update on the Mackie. If you can't , this is not good.
If anyone knows how please post.
Hello, can you please tell me if you can activate the reverb effect on Mackie? Thanks
Maybe someone can help me, I get the Thump Connect 2 to connect to the speaker easy, but its not possible to use the mixer (like level or mute) and not possible to change any other settings, I find it very strange. Have tried both on android and ios. Have someone else hade this problem?
For musicians Bose S1, Its amazing we use two of those for small backyard parties saves us so much time just plug and play... Sounds clean
Agree! Might be Boses' best product!
Next upgrade, run a Bose Sub1 with your pair of S1Pro's. You will be amazed at the full range sound improvement!
Great video thank you. However, it's worth noting that 3db difference is not like adding a second speaker. That would be 6db.
Thanks for the heads up. I believe I read at +3dB our ear is fooled into thinking it is double the volume but at +6 it is actually twice as loud.
Heyy! Thanks a ton for this video! Really helpful. But among these 3, using AUX input, which do you think has the best low end? I want to use it for DJing (mainly disco/house/techno) outdoors for lets say ~20-30 people. The only real deal breaker is that it needs to be battery powered cos not always you find a power source outdoors.
If you want bass in a battery speaker, JBL Eon MK2 has bass approaching a stand alone 10" subwoofer. None of these three will make you happy with that type of music. If anything the new Bose S1 Plus will have more bass than any of these. JBL Partybox 310 has great bass if you don't mind the size/weight. Also EV Everse 12 is a possibility. Just testing it now.
Thanks for these comparisons. I have seen comparisons of the JBL against a similar Yorkville unit and was shocked by how murky the JBL sounded. I really want something with onboard reverb and a three channel mixer, but in every example I have heard the JBL just sounds unpleasant to me. Also, when I have heard it’s reverb, it sounded really bad. I am hoping there might be different settings through the app or something, but if that’s just the way it sounds… no thanks. The Bose and the Yorkville are more expensive than I wanted, so not sure what to do. I really wanted the system to be fully portable and simple. The Mackie sounds great to me I just wish they had added an aux in and a simple effects section. 😀
Glad you liked the video. JBL can sound good with a lot of EQing, where the other two sound clean out of the box. With EQing it also limits earlier than the other two. Yorkville would be the loudest of the bunch, but the fact that it doesn't have a user replaceable battery is a deal breaker for me + more expensive. Mackie plus small mixer might be your only solution?
@@WWeiss-nv5vz That’s the way I am leaning at the moment, I have a couple of small mixers laying around… they seem to accumulate if you have been doing this stuff as long as I have. 😂 But at this point it would be great to just carry one piece of gear, plug in a mic, an instrument or two and perhaps an iPad for fun and just play songs anywhere I wanted. I will probably get the Mackie, it’s a bargain and your right, losing the removable battery is pretty much a deal breaker.
@@murdockscott Might want to save up for the JBL Eon One MK2 if size/weight isn't a factor. It is a huge step up from the Bose S1Pro, Mackie, or JBL Compact!
I have the JBL and mostly love it for live-gigging a couple of times a week. Very portable. It's nice just to park the car and walk in to a gig in one trip! You can really dial-in the sound thru the app, which is mostly a one-time thing. Once it's set, it's set! I am curious about the new Bose S1+ with app control. Always loved Bose sound!
Were the EQ settings the same for all speakers? I thought the mackie had a lot of harsh mids and the JBL muddy but the BOSE sounded fantastic. Thick and clear! Thanks for posting.
I agree with you, Mackie is all high end, mids lacking. Mackie has a 3 band EQ that is useless. JBL was EQed as best as I could to get clarity to equal the Bose but still muddy. 10" woofer has better low end but takes away clarity from high end. If you don't need max volume the Bose S1 Pro has the most Hifi sounding presentation out of the box!
Had the S1 Pro, very nice but not quite loud enough for a band foldback so i exchanged for the JBL mainly because of the 10 inch woofer. Need reverb also. If the Bose made an 8-10" driver version it would be unbelievable.
Wait for rcf or fbt
@@MobilediscowirralCoUk Oh really, what are they releasing? Surely there is some new options coming out soon. BTW I ment 8 inch woofer in the JBL.
Don’t fool yourselves! Bose Knows Dam Well That Everyone Loves The S1 Pro ! When Bose Comes Out With. S1-Pro Big Brother ….No One Will Be Able To Touch It !
When the manufacture tests SPL they use sine waves/test tones, not music.
Hello ! I'll ask you in this video too! Will you be able to sing and play the guitar under the backing track with a Mackie speaker or not? I have a JBL Eon One Compact, I play guitar with it like that. Backing Track minus from the player to the speaker via bluetooth, guitar to the line input, microphone to the microphone input. Will it work with Mackie Trump Go or not ?
Sorry, I can't do that test for you, I don't have a microphone and guitar available at the moment.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz Oh, hello, the test is not required) I'll ask differently. Can the guitar input and bluetooth work at the same time with each other?
@@georgchekinoff239 I plugged my drum machine into CH1 and CH2 while Bluetooth Backing tracks played and it worked fine on either channel!
The Mackie be the loudest would you say overall ? Think you said that in the video but just wanted to double check your opinion .
Yes, the Mackie is noticeably louder!
Great vid. What would you recommend for playing music with friends at BBQs and beach parties?
Glad you liked it. Any of these will be great! Bose S1 is so popular because it is the lightest/smallest and sounds great. If money is an issue the Mackie is louder and cleaner on the high end but not as Hi-fi sounding as the Bose. If money is not the deciding factor the new EV Everse 8 is the best, Check out this video: czcams.com/video/fEilBKKoL-E/video.html
I am buying a PA system for the first time for my violin when I play gigs. Which one do you think will have the best quality sound / good volume? I am between the S1 Pro and the Eon One Compact.
I like your videos!
Also, could you do a sound comparison video where an instrument is connected, please? I would love to hear how they sound with live instruments, besides the bluetooth streaming music.
Glad you like the videos. For violin I would go with the S1Pro. It has a cleaner high end and a smoother Hifi sounding midrange. Both have the same max volume. Bose smaller form factor/lighter weight. Bose has a better dispersion of 120 degrees, JBL throws 100 degrees. Both speakers should be off the ground on a speaker stand. JBL has a darker sound with more emphasis on bass which wouldn't apply for your application. JBL has the better App with a an 8 band EQ that can help you tailor your sound for different instruments/rooms. My vote for violin, Bose S1Pro. You will love it!
This test pretty much matches the Specs: JBL Compact 150 watts, Mackie 200 watts/ JBL rated at 112db max/Mackie 115dB
Being that the Thump Go speaker doesn't have reverb, could I use it with a passive mixer that has effects. Would that work if I just plugged it into the Thump Go, or would that need to be an active mixer?
Thanks in advance for replies.
Sorry not sure. I have always used active mixers.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz Oh ok, thank you for the response.
Do you think these speakers are equivalent in terms of loudness compare to JBL partybox 310?
The Mackie Thump gets 101dB max, the Bose S1 gets 98.6dB, PB310 gets 104.4dB, louder and much better bass! The small PA speakers of course have the portability and weight advantage and the JBL and the Bose have Reverb. PB 310 has no EQ and doesn't have a user replaceable battery. The small PA speakers are geared for better vocals and acoustic guitar sound quality. www.rtings.com/speaker/tools/compare/bose-s1-pro-system-vs-jbl-partybox-310/6982/19644?usage=10159&threshold=0.10
Thank you so much for this video! I’m having a very difficult time deciding between jbl eon compact or Bose s1 pro. I really like the clean sound straight out of the Bose. However, being able to eq the jbl more makes me wonder if I can get the jbl to sound close to the Bose? If so it’s a no brainer. I sing, play acoustic and loop. The versatility of the jbl is fantastic. BUT if the sound on the Bose is much better then I might go Bose. What’s your thoughs?
Glad the video helped.
I think you are spot on. For the average person the Bose sounds great with no adjustments needed. The Compact with its excellent EQ can sound very similar to the Bose. JBL is more mids/low heavy. Even with EQ Bose has a cleaner presentation. Not sure if battery is needed but JBL came out with the new EON710. Better in every way than either but a little heavier at 26lbs and no battery:(
@@WWeiss-nv5vz I’m looking for battery. If the Bose still sounds a little better even after eq 🤔 I may just go Bose then. The versatility of jbl is killing me though!!! 😩 Thanks for the reply!!! Subbed!
Holy smokes I just saw you recommended a grant maya power source? I have guitar pedals and I could use that thing to power them? That seals the deal. I can get all my eq and effects from that battery while having a battery powered pa.
@@Mdogbrown For only pedals, not sure if you need 300 watts. Beaudens 150 watt will do the job www.sportszea.com/beaudens-166wh-portable-power-station-battery-solar-generator-emergency-backup?gclid=CjwKCAjw-8qVBhANEiwAfjXLruwl6gLuB4qcOASQ_5N69u5gSZUOyBnRCe6QEEUtouAB9Uj5hGvEbxoCtekQAvD_BwE
@@Mdogbrown Have you considered the battery powered JBL EONMK2? Heavier and $1,200 but many leagues better than S1Pro or Compact! czcams.com/video/D4ND-qr-5ok/video.html
A lot of people describe Bose as having a hifi sound. However, anyone serious about home hifi will tell you that Bose is far from hifi or neutral. They purposefully voice their speakers to sound pleasant but a real professional studio would never consider Bose at all.
Agree, but in comparison to other PA speakers, Mackie, JBL they sound closer to Hifi, where the others have a clean high end but no mids to speak of.
But these are PA speakers not actual hifi speakers or studio monitors. People just mean they sound really clear compared with other budget compact PA speakers. I think the S1 Pro sounds better than the Street Cube EX for example (not quite as loud though). The other great thing about them is they don’t suffer from feedback easily.
Why would Mackie Not Have Included Reverb? Stupid 😞
True .. Using 2 eons . Features and real Pro Over 50dbhz Bose ! And The Red Clip Lights Is Because Its Super Sensitive ! Good Vids 😊
me quedo con el jbl eon one compact. es mejor.
Una prueba de campo con algún músico que cante y toque en vivo sería genial.
Gracias por el video!!
buena idea, pero yo no estoy en una banda. Yo también hablo español, gracias por tus sugerencias y que bueno que te gustó mi video amigo.
Bose S1 Pro has the highest fidelity of all of the bluetooth portable speakers. I have listened to ALL of them in person except the new SoundBoks Gen 3 then again that is much larger, and also cost $999. Also, the Bose is the most portable with the smallest design and only like 16 lbs in weight.
Agree, S1 Pro might be the best thing Bose has ever come out with!
Dj producer type here with more of an electric sound which would you recommend?
Mackie Thump Go paired with a small sub.
Thanks, I think BOSE S1 PRO produce clearer sound than MACKIE THUMP GO and JBL EON ONE COMPACT. But I am sure more than half of my audience do not realize how different sound they are (except field test comparison Battle) . So the quality depend on their habituation. I would prefer to choose BOSE S1 PRO for my acoustic guitar and any of them for my phone.
The Mackie really needed the reverb...
to be hones Machkie sound much clear and lauder , i have used all of them except the MACKIE I WILL TRY, BEST SOUND OF ALL 3 IS MACKIE for sure
Is Mackie good for beginner DJ? And does it have aux 3.5?
Yes, Mackie in my opinion of these three would be the best for the beginning DJ because it is the loudest and has excellent clarity, and the best price. You really NEED even a small subwoofer to make it sound its best. Yes, it has Aux input.
Man I tried to bring the JBL EON Compact to band practice and we couldn't even hear it against the other monitors there not to mention it didn't sound half as good as an old amp I had to use instead. Oddly enough I returned a mackie thump go to buy it for the extra inputs and software. I'm going back to get the Mackie cause my guitar came through crisp and clear on that thing with no effects. JBL was applying a lot of bass to my sound and just was not loud.
You didn't set it up right then. Sounds like you didn't eq it! Sounds miles better than in this video when it's used as intended. Many more options than both the makie and the bose to get the sound you want. Reverbs, chorus, delay, 4 channels and 6 band eq per channel, 8 band on the outs. Not much comes near that at the moment for the price. All good speaker but much more flexibility with the JBL. The makie would make a good second speaker for it though!
Mackie for me. The sound is great for the price and tge battery is great.
Can't argue the quality/value of the Mackie. It falls down compared to these others because it doesn't have reverb or a functioning line out while using Bluetooth, which are deal breakers for live musicians.
Is the thump go the loudest? How would you rate the quality of the bass compared to the other 2?
Mackie is the loudest at 101.5dB and stays super clear at max volume , Bose S1Pro 98dB, JBL Compact 96db Bass is best on the JBL Compact, Bose has the smoothest mids ,Mackie has the least bass or about the same as the Bose.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz cool thx bro
@@veritas6931 Glad you enjoyed!
is 1 mackie in volume (loud) is equal to 2 jbl eon compact?
Louder than two! JBL Compact has a reputation to clip early - nowhere near 112db that JBL Specs say.
When it comes down to it. Bose sounds the best but how willing are you to pay $650 for slightly clearer audio compared to $400.
Bose S1Pro is also the lightest/smallest. Mackie now $450
Estuve buscando una comparación entre el Bose S1 pro y el HK move 8 y no encontré..alguien sabe cuál tiene mejor sonido?
I've never heard the Move8.
I’m a musician and I have reverb pedals for my vocals and guitar. Is the mackie or the Bose the best choice for the price? clarity is most important to me, and I probably won’t use a subwoofer (too much gear)
Go Mackie 100%. More clarity, higher max SPL, less expensive. The only thing to consider is reliability. The Mackie Thump Go is a new product with no record, and I know Bose's customer service has a very good reputation. If you don't need battery power the QSC CP8 is better than both by a wide margin! If you do need battery the CP8 is run easily off a $130 Beaudens battery pack. czcams.com/video/0g4m47BzROE/video.html
How about the cp8?
@@havenlane992 This review was all about small battery PA. CP8 is better than all of them by quite a margin. Another speaker that might best the CP8 at the same price is the Turbosound iP300. Just got it. Very impressed! czcams.com/video/mXaNcpN2CMo/video.html
Turbosound iP300 bests the Mackie if you don't need battery and don't mind the size/weight. czcams.com/video/mXaNcpN2CMo/video.html
@@havenlane992 These are all battery powered CP8 AC only. But CP8 is run easily on 150 watt external power . QSC CP8 is far superior to any of these, another level!
hiw about you connect boss ve 8 to mackie thump go is it good?
Yes, I tried that. Both have excellent high end. The EV adds a lot of missing bass. Like adding a mini subwoofer! Anytime you add a second speaker it gets louder and has that stereo left right imaging.
How loud is the PREMIUM PRO: MOVE 8?
I don't have the Move 8.
JBL just lowered the Compact another $100 to $529. They might be blowing them out for a new model? This happened with my Eon One Pro that I bought for $1,200. Before they came out with the new MK2 they blew it out for $600! On the other hand EV hasn't budged from their introductory price of $750 so I don't think its just because of less demand in this Portable Battery PA segment.
Did you try the Apx12Go
Thanks, never heard of it and looked it up. That's a lot of speaker for $250. I would be careful of Off brands plus 35 Lbs is not very portable.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz hello its not really off brand its made by american audio a ADJ s branch of products. It is heavier but if spl is the game than this thing has them beat. I myself with a bad back bought the 17lb eon ones.
czcams.com/video/G2uh5yJ-S7c/video.html
Bose sounds a tad better but with lower volume. the JBL sounds like it is muffled or something. Not bad for Mackie
That’s exactly what I am hearing.
Have you tried the Yorkville EXM Mobile 8?
No I have not and would like to. Have you? Specs are very similar to Mackie - sharing technology?? Both 200 watts, both 17 lbs except Yorkville is $720! Doubt it is worth the extra $300!
@@WWeiss-nv5vz I am the other way around, I've tried the Yorkville but not the Mackie. The Yorkville is head and shoulders above the Bose though.
What do the “shape” and “notch” buttons do?
Notch let's you eliminate a frequency that is feeding back. Shape does a smooth transition between scooped eq for music and pronounced mids for speech
I don’t really care about the 8 inch speaker. I wonder how that battery powered sub sounds that would be an awesome vid
There is a problem with the JBL Compact,the power button hits a onboard, Momentary Right Angle Tactile Tact Push Button Switch 6 x 6mm x 5mm, which easily gets bent/misaligned . It cost less than 5 cents when bought in bulk. Since I like the sound and ease of use of the 12 hour battery ,I choose to keep it and replace the switch which costs $10. So far I think its worth the minor defect.I hope JBL fixes this in the future.
I heard about that problem on the JBL Facebook Forum! I have never had that problem with mine.
Mine is bended by someone trying to shut it off but push too hard. I place a hard plastic to straighten, it works fine😂
@@pachon22 That is a common problem.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz I wonder when I saw that how JBL could make in such a way...
@@pachon22 JBL customer service should cover this if so many people are having the same issue - some type of design flaw.
I love my Bose S1 Pro
Agree, S1 Pro is an incredible product from Bose. Time is right for an update - S2 Pro with a little more power, 8" speaker, and a proper App.
Waiting for that S2 Pro update. I'll surely buy one!
@@WWeiss-nv5vz Any inside word on whether the S2 Pro is in development?
@@douglasmackin9325 Check back in 2028! S1Pro came out in 2018. Bose is on a ten year upgrade schedule.
Which one can generate the most bass at maximum volume?
JBL Compact has the most bass but at volume will probably be clipping red. Bose would be second with the most bass before clipping.
I think this is what reviews should be hats off to the guy who did it as its better than most reviews out there - that said ..A few things I would have liked to hear a guitar and vocals through the Makie and what is the RMS on it? I like the bose S1 pro but it aint loud enough and there aint enough base and the battery life is a bit flawed but it does sound ok. Personally I dont like when the speaker companies rate and publicise watts (because its a marketing gimic) giving out a peak on something like that - as it might only peak at that for a split second I wanna know the SPL on it the RMS im terms of wattage and wanna hear it for myself as 200 watts of crap is still crap which 'sounds better' out of these speakers in your opinion with music guitar and vocals is what I wanna know ...I think there is actually a better speaker out than all of those and that is this relitively unknown brand that has a few useful extra features on it czcams.com/video/CkS2Lz2EnWs/video.html&ab_channel=JoyoPedals
Glad you liked the review. Sorry I don't play acoustic guitar or sing. The Bose S1 Pro has a good reputation for vocals and acoustic guitar sound. The Mackie is just as clear but missing some of the mids Bose is known for. The weakness many people find with the Bose S1Pro is lack of power. The Mackie is the next step up from the Bose as far as volume.
Interested in battery life at volume level in this test
@@tommywilliamson1556 I usually just play in 1 hour intervals at volume. Not sure about the Mackie since it is so new but the S1Pro and Compact have a reputation for excellent battery life.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz I’ve got two of the JBL’s battery life is phenomenal. Will go 5 hours at almost the level you tested. This is important if your gig is outside and last all afternoon. The power switch on the Jbl is problematic and the green indicator lights are hard to see in the sunlight.

Price drop JBL Compact $529 www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EONOneCom--jbl-eon-one-compact-portable-pa-speaker-with-rechargeable-battery
Bose Specs rate the high end of the S1Pro at 18.5Hz . This is a weakness that is very evident at low to medium volume. The Mackie is rated at 20Hz which explains the cleaner high end.

Too late 4 me I bought bose 3 months ago. I would of gotten mackie
Mackie is a new product, not sure of the reliability. Bose has been out for years and has an excellent reputation!

Jbl ist sehr dumpf im Vergleich zu Mackie und Bose.
Price drop Bose S1 $600
its somehow sad the demosong diddnt had any basedrum. Real shitty track for comparison of the speaker.....
I've had trouble with CZcams Copyright issues, please send links of non Copyrighted material that you consider good.
But those subwoofers are not battery powered. Has no sense.
Curious if you tried other tracks than EDM. Maybe vocal tracks? The Mackie clearly has the edge in base heavy music due to its much larger woofer. I wonder if you’d get the same result blasting Adele’s or Taylor swift, side by side with the other two. I use my S1 at wedding ceremonies so mostly for vocals.
Crazy how the JBL sounds so muffled on your video compared to the other two. Mackie and Bose are clearly ahead. Bose is overpriced but we all knew that. If you don’t look at the price, the Bose is still the winner in my mind due to its size/weight and signature hifi sound, and also don’t forget horizontal coverage. The Bose will cover a considerably wider area than either the JBL or the Mackie.
It’s not that impressive that the mackie is nearly 3db louder than the Bose when you consider that it’s also nearly twice the size, has a 8 woofer, and only projects the sound in a much narrower area, so it’s not a really fair comparison. Nevertheless, a very impressive performance from the cheap mackie. You could nearly buy two mackie for the price of one S1 and that is crazy.
Hopefully a Bose S1 pro mkII is on the way soon to justify the difference in price. But like I said, just because of its size, weight and horizontal distribution, the Bose is still the clear winner to me for pro applications. To take at the beach or at a bbq with friends the Mackie makes more sense.
GREAT video again. I’m really enjoying your channel. no nonsense and no BS or bias. Keep it up! I was excited to watch your video lol
Glad you enjoy the videos. To answer your question, yes I have tried the Mackie with vocals and again it is crystal clear at volume! Funny I just tried the new Adele CD tonight, sounded excellent. Heads up for my next video: I ran the Mackie from the line out of the S1Pro. At 70dB or less the S1 Pro is very mid heavy and a little muddy. At these volumes the lack of a 20Hz high end of the Bose showed. Using the App from the Mackie- which Bose lacks I was able to slowly raise the gain adding those crystal clear highs missing from the Bose while the Bose retained those smooth mids and actually better lows at these low volumes. Incredible combination! Since Bose on the Aux channel lacks any EQ and again doesn't have an App with EQ I used the Mackie as a sort of battery operated EQ adding those missing highs. With the Mackie's mute function on all channels I was able to A/B adding and subtracting the Mackie at the press of an icon. The difference was huge! This is as close to studio monitors/Hifi I have gotten in a portable battery operated PA. Unfortunately both speakers are playing in mono vs a pair of stereo S1Pros that I also have. Most people don't like mixing brands but I do whatever I need to do to get the best sound.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz tell me please, when to see the test vocal (Adele CD tonight) on the Jbl Eon Compact? Is it also crystal clear or Mackei is better?
@@user-kk1yi2sz1d JBL needs a lot of EQ tweeking to get near the clarity of the Mackie. For that type of music which I also enjoy, Mackie is superior.
@@WWeiss-nv5vz JBL sounded like that because it wasnt set up correctly. Should have been eq´d. You can also save 8 EQ presets so you do not have to do it every time, just select the preset
I have a Roland spd 20 drum pad ,which speaker will be recommended for home usage with a good bass for the drums? As per the video i can see Mackie giving a good performance! What's your stand?
I also have the Roland SPD 20, love it! Question is do you need internal battery? All of these speakers Need a subwoofer! A subwoofer will make all the difference for kick and tom sounds. But if budget is the reason the JBL with 8" woofer and better EQ is the best. Mackie has a cleaner high end but little bass.
If you don't need internal battery I would go with a QSC CP8 with a Behringer B1200 sub. A little more money at $850 but a huge difference for electronic drums! czcams.com/video/xY_bw2Adn6c/video.html
Hi Weiss, Thanks for the reply! I agree Qsc with the sub is a good option and internal battery is not a priority for me..
I'm looking for a single speaker for indoor usage which can give me a good output with drum pad , keyboard, guitar, violin and vocals. Also please suggest a good mixer that can go along with it.
@@jabdan QSC CP8 will give you the output and clarity you're looking for, 124 dB! Mackie ProFX10 is my favorite small mixer. www.guitarcenter.com/Mackie/ProFX10v3-ProFX10v3-10-Channel-Professional-Effects-Mixer-with-USB-1500000302818.gc?storeCode=&source=4WWRWXGL&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsrWZBhC4ARIsAGGUJuqeQ35JLRxIIj22MXmYLR2ZxUG2aCM_Yv08DHY8xnclBvmsjuXPzj4aAssLEALw_wcB
